  1. Abusing humans on PETA Condemns Pokemon For Promoting Animal Abuse · · Score: 2

    So Peta hates animal abuse but apparently love abuse on humans. That games shows a drunk human getting his ass kicked and abused by an animal, that is more retarded then the original complaint. I guess we should be worried about the harm to fictional animals not real ones.

    Peta sure is one sided, what about the cells in Vegetables, they have the same rights as humans, what about single celled yeast or atoms!!!!! Those monsters ( Peta ) don't care about them.

  3. Re:Fire him on US House Science Committee Member: Evolution Is a Lie From Hell · · Score: 1

    With evolution I can look at thousands of years of what I'm going to call pretty solid evidence, for creationism I'm going with books written by men. Using science, man has been able to create the fundamental experiment which caused the creation of a nucleic acid, Ive never seen anything even 1/100000th as substantial for religion, I've seen dirty cloth, old wood and been told verses from a poorly written book. If this man sat on the board of religion class in schools I wouldn't say anything, I would agree with him but he doesn't, science doesn't work on blind faith. If it does then anyone who makes a claim also makes a scientific discovery.

    Fair enough but then there is nothing stopping me from making a statement like "Everything was created from a stick, anyone who believes differently is blinded from distraction and self doubt and should not be allowed life". You can tell me they haven't really "proven" evolution but pretty much every single point in human existence relies on it.

    Evolution is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation, including species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins.[1]

    from

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution

    Its a pretty valid point, right down to fundamental parts of matter, the ATOM you see evolution, you see it in Alpha and Beta decay. My point is that I don't think it's fair for someone to inject completely false points into a board who's sole mission is to regulate science. Using the pretty sad argument of God allows you to just ignore anything you want and keep moving, God is a great escape from explanation and reason because everything religion teaches is about believing on faith and not evidence.

    It does, that's fact, they have found physical evidence of human evolution through fossil records. Regardless of how evolution started it happens. Anyone can claim the "theory" of evolution was sent from hell to mask gods will but then I ask those people to explain and disprove the fossil evidence. There is nothing wrong with bashing established idea but you need to back your claim with the same or better evidence, saying "God created everything" is no more valid then saying aliens built the pyramids.

  6. Fire him on US House Science Committee Member: Evolution Is a Lie From Hell · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Evolution is fact, it happens, we know it happens, there is proof. I have one question for him, "Can you prove creationism?" , The answer is no. I'm not about to debate what the right answer is but if your sitting on a board that regulates part of the school system then you must bow to logic and reason and evolution is the only reasonable choice. If you pick creationism then you need to bow to every single possible variant. There is no difference between Jesus and Harry potter as far as science goes, both had "wands" both used "magic" and both at least to me don't really exist.

  8. Interupitation on Why Are We So Rude Online? · · Score: 1

    Part of the issue is that some people don't apply the correct emotional state to an online context. Depending on how you read a post or a comment it can change the emotion behind it from happy to mad. So I don't think that people are more rude, I just think people have a harder time trying to read the emotional state of electronic information.

  9. Funny thing on Supreme Court Won't Hear Body-Scanner Appeal · · Score: 2

    The funny thing about the TSA is that the rules sound like they were written by grade 1 students. They are comically horrible, I mean in some cases they even cause harm or damage and in others they just cause inconvenience. Shouldn't a system designed to protect / improve security also improve quality of life and travel? I was denied taking medication with me after being searched, I guess I could of somehow smuggled a chemical lab onto the plane and turned the pills into a powerful explosive ......... The TSA should write a book, "How not to implement security".

  12. Yes on Does Crowdfunding Work? · · Score: 1

    Crowd funding works! How many projects have been able to get off the ground and even become successful after applying for public funding. With crowd funding you get one major advantage and that is the ability to pitch your idea to much bigger group. When you try to make a pitch to a small group of investors your relying on a small group of people understanding and taking great interest in your idea, if they don't understand your idea it's almost doomed to fail. This is what crowd funding helps eliminate.

  14. My Take on Innocence of Muslims Filmmaker Arrested, Jailed · · Score: 0

    I'm going to start off by saying that I'm ignoring the fact he violated probation. I want to take a look at the fact that the Obama administration may be taking a winning feeling from locking a man up for free speech. Everyone has the right to there own belief, it doesn't matter what that is, you can't always act on it but you can least passively believe it. No one, government and police included should be able to take that away from you.

    Fundamentally all that happened here was a man made a movie that represented his belief, he never physically acted on his belief, he didn't tell people on his behalf to act on his belief he just visualized it. No matter the out come, it was not his direct doing. A person shouldn't be responsible for what people do because of there expression, so this man should not be held responsible because some extremest freaked out after his movie was released. I'm not saying you can't disagree or you can't be mad over it but as I already stated you shouldn't have the right to act on your belief in all cases.

    So basically he never did anything wrong. I don't care where you grew up, what culture you belong to or what your beliefs are, I just don't think that he did anything wrong. He expressed himself and because of that expression a number of extremists acted out. How about we arrest the people who acted out instead of the person who was innocent in all cases. This is why the Obama administration shouldn't take a win, they've now basically shown that if you have belief and explain it you go to jail

    Also please pay attention that I'm disregarding the probation violation!

  15. New Approach on Microsoft Calls For $5B Investment In U.S. Education · · Score: 1

    Has anyone thought about asking the kids what they want to learn? The most ineffective way of teaching is forced teaching, you can throw a million dollars of technology at a student but if they don't enjoy using it then it's a waste. I think we should segment the school system, take the kids who want a technical based education and put them in one stream with a lesser degree of emphasis placed on English and all the like courses and then just Vice Versa. Oh course this would start in grade 7 when kids are smart enough and old enough to make that decision for themselves.

    I see no point in doing this STEM method to every student, it's a waste of money and effort. It should be applied to the kids who want it and then left at that.

  16. Why the BB logo? on The Text Message Typo That Landed a Man In Jail · · Score: 2

    This isn't a Blackberry issue, this is an issue about a slip of the finger, I think Jail was a little extreme. He didn't ask these girls for sex on purpose.

  17. Really? on Did Metro UX Elements Come From a 2009 Demo? · · Score: 1

    The article calls out TUI's ( text based interfaces ) and then claims that the GUI is the ultimate replacement. Based off the introduction the article was written by someone with a mild amount of computer literacy. In many cases a properly designed TUI will destroy a GUI any day of the week all day long. The GUI has it's place but so does the TUI, anyone who disregards either has no right to write technical reviews.

    I can pick out truck loads of drivers which don't transverse between Windows releases. Lets start with the big one Printer Drivers, RS-232 Drivers, CAN drivers, Sound Drivers, PLC drivers ...... should I keep going? Windows doesn't really support driver transverse, infact the only one's I can think of are I/O and Video. If you really want to call out Linux then fine but at least also note the fact that you can easily adapt the driver and get off running in a matter of hours, on Windows you need to wait to a possible release by the manufacture. Nice try thou.
